So I am watching the NFL draft late last night. The third round is going on and on - ESPN makes everything take 5 minutes when 30 seconds would do - and no Trautman. ESPN keeps showing the graphic he is the top available player. Now we are down to the last 2 picks of the third round. Looks kind of bleak for Adam to go in this round. The Vikings are on the clock. But wait, the Vikings just traded their pick to the Saints. My very first thought - no way anybody would trade up for a non-scholarship tight end - so no Trautman on this pick. And then Goodell announces Trautman as the Saints pick. Today, I see that the Saints traded their 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th round picks (every pick that they have left in this year's draft) to the Vikings just to pick Trautman! Shows what I know.
